Symptoms of swine flu!

Swine flu also known as swine influenza is caused by a virus that is endemic in pig or swine.Strain that is found endemic in pig are called SIV or swine influenza virus.Influenza virusA and C are both endemic in humans and pigs.Swine flu pendemic has created a panic of the sorts all over the world.SIV can mutate and effect humans and as well as pigs.In the present outbreak the mutation seems to have occurred to SIV.People who are working in poultry farm or live near swine farm are at risk.
The symptoms of swine flu in human beings are similar to that of common influenza eg. sore throat, fever, cough, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A few more patients than usual have also reported diarrhea and vomiting.
The CDC(center for disease control and prevention) reports that the symptoms and transmission of the swine flu from human to human is much like that of seasonal flu. Common symptoms include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing, while runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported.It is believed to be spread between humans through coughing or sneezing of infected people and touching something with the virus on it and then touching their own nose or mouth. Swine flu cannot be spread by pork products, since the virus is not transmitted through food. The swine flu in humans is most contagious during the first five days of the illness although some people, most commonly children, can remain contagious for up to ten days. Diagnosis can be made by sending a specimen, collected during the first five days, to the CDC for analysis.
Prevention from swine flu:Wash your hands with soap or alcohol based sanitizers and don’t touch your eyes,mouth etc without washing your hands.If possible use warm water along with soap to wash your hands after coming home.Don't hug your wife or children without taking a proper bath after you reach home.This prevents transmission of virus to children who have a weaker immune system.
Treatment of Swine flu:The CDC recommends the use of Tami flu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses. The virus isolates that have been tested from the US and Mexico are however resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. If a person gets sick, antiviral drugs can make the illness milder and make the patient feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).

Salt compromises your health.

Health is Wealth
He who takes medicine and neglects to diet wastes the skill of his doctors. ~Chinese Proverb
Health is the main concern as far as life is concerned.No amount of wealth or fortune cannot replace good health.Anyone without health cannot enjoy wealth.in this blog we are going to discuss about an enemy which many of us fail to see.This enemy is present on our dinning tables and is popularly known as table salt.
Many of us go and eat at fast food joints like McDonald's and Kentucky chicken etc without realizing the amount of salt present in the French fries or Chicken.Many of us diet on oil and cholesterol but hardly can prevent a heart attack.The reason is simple that we have failed to stop guzzling common salt.This can cause severe health problems.Eating junk food and processed food like cheese,chips and other popcorn stuff can increase your salt intake by up to 10-13 gms.Health is at risk when junk food becomes a habit.
How is salt responsible for heart attack?
Salt is present in bread,butter or food that we eat.It flows in our blood thus clogging the arteries which supply blood to the heart.Once the arteries are totally blocked a person can get a fatal heart attack.We should reduce our dependence on salt.According to WHO the admissible amount of salt is 2-3mg but in Asia the quantity consumed per person can be 10-15 gms per person.More and more research has shown that raw foodism is catching up.Fruits and green vegetables in salads can enhance health benefits thus reducing the heart problem by as much as 80%.
Salt is also responsible for Obesity and high blood pressure!
Salt present in the arteries can increase water retention thus making a person look plump.The salt present in veins and arteries can contain 1 liter of water.loosing salt will allow this extra water to be lost.The salt accumulation on the artery wall can slow down or increase blood pressure.Reducing salt intake by 70% can reduce further health risk.

ANGER MANAGEMENT FOR YOU!

Anger is a natural emotion which is very common.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”A Famous Buddhist saying.

What they might teach you at a anger management session is something we we can learn from our inner self.Anger is inside us so it will be wise to seek the solution in our inner world.However in our daily life we get angry at a drop of our hat.However it harms us and makes our society less tolerable.Unfortunately Capitalism has only made things worse for the society.In our office or workplace,you can always face an irritated and angry boss or co-worker.Inside our house often we get used to angry partner or a growing child.However we can manage our anger and frustration by following this simple steps:

Breathe Deeply:This is one of the best ways to calm your nervous system when you feel that you feel anger rising rapidly.Anger is nothing but misdirected energy.Anger management experts have long advocated deep breathing as the yoga technique in their anger management classes.When while driving you see someone overtaking you from wrong side,just deep breathe and give yourself some time before you react.Anger management gurus and health care fraternity has long established link between heart attacks and anger.So take it easy.

Take a break:When inside a heated argument or fight, take a break and wash your face with water.Often in the office or homes we get angry and being impulsive by nature might do or say something which we will regret later.Instead of being impulsive,take a break and than return.Often this method also helps in controlling teenage folks who have less control over their anger.This technique is taught in anger management classes.

TANTRA-THE ART OF MENTAL WELL-BEING!

Tantra Buddhism means the one who is enlightened about the art of tantra.
Tantric art originated in the region which is called India today.It was a legacy of Hindu and Buddhist art very traditional and a way of life in that period.In the 8th century AD when Mahayana Buddhism was at its peak in India and the world first university was already established at Nalanda in Eastern India.This university and many other Universities offered scholars a wealth of knowledge and encouraged them to research further on this subject.This tradition continued until the Islamic barbarians invaded India and destroyed everything.
Tantra is the concept that everything is connected, expanding and interwoven. It is the metaphor of the universe being in each of us and, in turn, each of us being in the smallest particle. Everything is Everything. The way to realize this, for each of us, is to embrace practices that offer new experiences, expansive growing and an invitation to experience the Divine. Whether that is through yoga, meditation, relationships of all kinds, consciousness, perfection in sports or business, spiritual pursuits and especially sex, we are reminded of the unity and divine presence when we do these things with spirit and excellence.
The word Tantra is Sanskrit, the sacred language of Hinduism. It derives from the root word tan, which translates as "to extend, expand, spread, continue, spin out, weave; to put forth, show, or manifest." Like the universe we inhabit, Tantra is continually expanding, spreading, and manifesting itself like a "cosmic weave," made up of different energies. We are part of this weave, as are our forefathers and foremothers, all life, and every type of energy and matter. This includes thoughts, actions, and all physical matter.
Tantra is also overstated as a sex tool.It is quite true that if you practice tantra it enhances your sexual pleasure and energy.It is because you have learned to go deep within yourself and your partner and are thus one in spirit and two in body.Tantric massage and sensual tantric touch form a basic part of tantric sexual practices.Kamasutra was designed and evaluated by a famous Tantric practitioner called Vatsyana.
